I didn't feel like going back to my apartment after what happened with Nina. This place suddenly felt too sharp, too close. So Ravić took the lead this time, guiding me through the empty streets like he knew the way around here, until the air grew colder. He said his men had found a place here somewhere, a hidden refuge just by the university, where vampires secretly gathered.
Some of them were exiles, cast out from their homeland. The lucky ones who had escaped with their lives. While some of them were the ones who had chosen to remain among the humans, gathering our blood supply whilst building quiet empires in the shadows. Or serving as spies.
They were around us, all along. Watching. Waiting. If only I had known.
